A SuperHeroine In Training

705349_10151321171560708_1613211918_o

I’m fortunate to spend most of my days posing for movie animators and video game designers. One thing you must know about me, I don’t do things halfway, it’s all or nothing. My preparation begins weeks before a booking. Planning, purchasing and often making my costumes. And don’t forget the props. Essential for creating a …

“I would die for this pose”

_MG_5134A

That’s what I thought to myself standing in stiletto heels on one leg with my fedora, gangster outfit and prop gun, “I would die for this pose…rather then break it”. The pain in my arches, ankles, back.. none of it mattered, because I was living-out a moment in an action heroine’s life and it was …

Staying in the Posement

Danny Von der Ahe 2 series

There are moments and there are posements (as I like to call them). When doing a series of short poses (anywhere from thirty seconds to five minutes), Artist’s often ask me “Are you always thinking about your next pose?” The answer is “no”. A pose has a life of it’s own, emotionally and physically. Sometimes …

Something from nothing…

girl7

Isn’t that the mystery of creation? Something from nothing. With what means does an artist fills a blank canvas? Do “spirit” and talent combust at the same time and form an image? And how do the quick pencil lines and dabs of paint on a brush form a complete human portrait so accurately that it …

Getting my groove on at The Getty…

GianlorenzoBerninisEcstasyO

As I approached the Getty for my art modeling booking last evening, I had an excited feeling of anticipation, knowing that this would be unlike any other museum outing. Parking on the “Top of the Hill” was more immediate then the scenic tram and afforded me time to peruse some galleries before I began work. …

Pixie Dust and Moon Beams…

IMG00733-20110912-1403-1

My afternoon at Dreamworks was delightful. As I moved through my first hour of one and two minute poses, my Angel Fairy took life. In some moments she was innocent and coquettish, and in others she was menacing and forceful. She jumped from leg to knee, chair to floor, and almost took flight in the …

Paris in the Springtime

Paris In the Springtime

I was riding my pink bicycle along the banks of the Seine last evening. It was a warm spring day and I could smell freshly baked croissants and feel the sunshine on the back of my neck as I starred off into the distance at my handsome French lover. Ahhh, to dream! In actuality it …

Around the art world In 80 days…

heavenly_sword

What a fascinating whirlwind into the art world (Am I actually in a movie? An eccentric Fellini movie perhaps?) Packing and repacking my faithful travel bag with fanciful costumes and props, I feel more like a traveling circus performer (Ah, I’m Giulietta Masina in Fellini’s “La Strada”!) I’ve portrayed the lives of a multitude of …

Statue in the garden at The Laguna College of Art and Design, Laguna Beach

Three days of art modeling in Laguna Beach…Just what the Doctor ordered! I had a “mental vacation” and journeyed south for a three day booking at Laguna College of Art and Design this past week. The School is a slice of heaven! Situated in one of Southern California’s most beautiful beach towns, I felt an …

And so another journey begins…

A girl can’t have too many diaries. I began art modeling as an interesting way to earn money to support my acting career, unaware that this would become another new vocation. I now await with anticipation my modeling bookings. I crave the unique almost surreal experience that I enjoy when I step on the model …
